"It's my first publication in a literary journal outside of Behrend College," said Coleman. "I wrote it about a year ago, and sent it out 5 times before it was accepted. It was a wonderful surprise." Mr. Coleman said that the chances are great that a story will have to be sent out many times before it will be accepted. "Submitting fiction to literary journals, at least for me, involves a hard-headedness", he said. The unusual aspect of "The Old Sword" is that it's written from a first person perspective, despite the fact that the main character is a female. "It was a challange,", - said Coleman. "Basically, the story has a simple premise. It's about an old woman who walks to the store•and then walks home." He said that the original draft took about 10 hours, which was followed by "lots of tinkering," for about a month. Mr. Coleman cited faculty members D.H. George and Jim Davis, as well as former student Chuck Beckman, as having a substantial influence on his writing. Mr. Coleman is planning to attend graduate school for creative writing, and then work toward a doc torate in literature. - - • Editorial Musical Events Upcoming By Carolyn Brnst The Music Department at Behrend is preparing for some exciting upcoming events. The most extensive production in rehearsal is that of the concert choir, and from the sound of things, we are in for an unforgettable evening of entertainment. Mr. David Stuntz, musical director, explained that this year's pro gram is the beginning of a totally different idea that will hopefully become an annual tradition. Imagine listening to 30 minutes of Mozart from the complete mass in Latin and you will understand why it is to become a tradition of true aesthetic quality. The concert choir will perform following the Award Ceremony honoring the academic and organizational achievements of various elected students. The choir includes four student soloists accom panied by string, trumpet, timpany and violin players as well as the Chorus. " The ceremony, to be held in the Reed Lecture Hall, will start at 2:00 on Sunday, April 29th with the concert choir immediately folio wiung and ending with a reception to bring the afternoon to a plea sant cloSe. - According to Mr. Stuntz, "This exposure will help people we have now, recruit freshmen for next year as well as promote faculty awareness in order for advisors to help students register for the class, as there will be a need for large numbers,." All are welcome to attend this sure to be memorable evening and admission is free. Good luck concert choir, and thank you for hav ing th courage to try something as nice as the classics. Also in store from the musical department are the Pep band, who will be performing at commencements and the Swing choir, who will perform at the Lamba Sigma banquet. The date of the banquet is- April 15th at 5:00 in the Gorge. The entertainment includes solo, duet, and quartet performers. Correction: In the Student Opinion segment of the February 17, 1984, issue of the Behrend Collegian, Andy Luddy (4th semester, Electrical Engineering) was misquoted in his comments concerning the American presence in Lebanon. The correct statement should have read, "If there's any reason to Productiog are: Fred lietzker as Sidney.

In the same issue, Barbara A. Bailey was inadvertently referred to as Barbara W. Bailey, in the Roving Reporter column. The Collegian apologizes for the mistakes. THE BEHREND COLLEGIAN "Red Hot Lo Carolyn Brust One of the next productions to be staged at Studio 29's repertory theatre is a delightful comedy written by Neil Simon entitled Last of the Red Hot Lovers. Upstairs on the second floor of 1505 State Street, a director nam ed Lucian Zabramny is diligently involved in the making of a show that promises to "tickle your fun ny bone.'! The story, in three acts, follows the hopeless attempts of a 47 year old married man. named Barney Cushman, played by John Shaughnesy, to have not one but three affairs with some very in teresting ladies.

Another unfortunate victim, Bobbi Michele, played by Carolyn Brust, is a compulsive liar and a drug-crazed lesbian who also falls prey to Barney (or maybe he falls prey to her).
